Screen Resolution

[Sarah Reichelt]

Like most things, there are sometimes valid reasons for over-riding  
the HIG. I run a kiosk app and for debugging, I have a button to  
toggle to screen res so I can see more windows, but for public use,  
toggle it back again.

For Mac OS X, I use the cscreen shell command.

To set the screen res to 1024 x 768 with 32 bit color depth, I use:
     get shell("cscreen -x 1024 -y 768 -d 32")

HTH,
Sarah
